| A young, cheerful, and impulsive robot, just like his [[Sideswipe (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|namesake]], '''Sideswipe''' has little idea of the important role in the history of his species that he plays: he and his fellow young Transformers are the first generation of [[Transformer]]s born after the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], a momentous occasion and — perhaps — the next step on the evolutionary journey of the Cybertronian race.

| The young robot who would come to be knonw as "Sideswipe" was part of the first generation of [[spark]]s to emerge from [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s [[hot spot]]s in more than four million years, and the first generation of post-war Cybertronians to be born, some three years after the conclusion of the Great War. Emerging from [[Alyon]]'s newly ignited hot spot, {{storylink|The Transformers: Redemption|Redemption}} the sparks were absorbed by the [[Titan (IDW)|Titan]] [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] to grow properly, eventually maturing into healthy [[protoform]]s by drawing upon Trypticon's own body to form their [[Living metal|sentio metallico]]. {{storylink|The Transformers: Salvation|Salvation}}

| | |
| After several months of development, the protoforms, including "Sideswipe," had begun to cool and develop rudimentary robotic bodies. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 2}} [[Starscream (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Starscream]] became aware of this next generation, hidden in the Cybertronian wilderness, and manipulated events so that [[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Optimus Prime]] and an unlikely group of allies to find and claim the protoforms for his own. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 1 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 1}}

| When [[Arcee (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Arcee]] trailed [[Sludge (G1)|Sludge]] into Cybertron's depths, "Sideswipe" jumped the former from behind, and Arcee's initial willingness to kill the little Transformer caused Trypticon to awaken so as to protect his charges. Once the situation had calmed down, Arcee introduced her new friend to Optimus Prime and affectionately named him "Sideswipe" after her recently-departed friend. To ensure that Starscream wouldn't be able to manipulate the future of their species, Prime announced that Trypticon would become [[Earth]]'s new embassy on Cybertron: as a result, Trypticon and all the protoforms he carried within him were now under [[human]] sovereignty. {{storylink|The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2)|The Dead Come Home, Part 2}}

| By the time that [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]] visited Trypticon, Sideswipe and the other protoforms had grown to their adult dimensions and happily played with [[Buster (IDW)|Buster]] while her owner chatted with [[Marissa Faireborn]]. {{storylink|Starscream: The Movie (comic)|Starscream: The Movie}} Arcee would later tell [[Aileron]] about the protoforms, mulling that his name was not reflective of the desire to step away from future fighting. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}}

| During the [[Maximal]] invasion of Cybertron, Trypticon realized that he could not allow his charges to be jeopardized and used his [[Space bridge|spacebridge]] to warp to Earth, taking Sideswipe and the others with him {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 4: The Hallowing|The Hallowing}} and arriving near [[Mount Rushmore]]. Ultimately, this catastrophe was merely a precursor to something far worse, and when [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] devoured Cybertron, Sideswipe stood by [[Soundwave (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Soundwave]] as the survivors regrouped on Earth, watching as [[Thundercracker (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Thundercracker]] arrived to speak with [[Marissa Faireborne]]. {{storylink|Unicron issue 5|Unicron #5}}

| *Sideswipe possesses a black-and-red color scheme and is part of a "new generation" of Transformers, which seems like a sneaky reference to Sideswipe's [[:File:G2-toy Sideswipe.jpg|''Generation 2'' toy]].
